Description
During World War II, the airfield at Deniliquin was primarily a training base. From June 1941 until August 1944, pilots graduated from No 7 Service Flying Training School. This menu is associated with service of Flying Officer Eric Robert Staley (401679), KIA who enlisted as an aircraftman on 28 March 1941 in Melbourne and was posted to Training School in Deniliquin. This signed menu is from the graduation or pass-out dinner of Saturday September 13, 1941 (46 signatures on front and back).
